Second, EU products remain available for sale but all Merch productsRead more
You have all heard the saying that ‘time is money’. There are only 24 hours in a day, and with the amount that we sleep and take care of other needs, chances are that you only have a set amount of time to work on your business per day. Let’s say maximum, you get 8 productive work hours per day and much less than that if you have aRead more
One of the requests we have been receiving lately is adding an EASY way to create patterns in Merch Designs. Over the last year or so, we have been creating a lot of pattern designs especially for Popsockets that have been working INCREDIBLY well (few hundred sales a month). What bottle necked us though, was that to design these, we had to copy and paste the same layer overRead more
One of the hardest things to do when you are working on your Merch by Amazon business is find keywords and phrases that are getting in front of the right audience.

Bulk designs on Merch by Amazon have been something that we have not talked much about. Sometimes they can do EXTREMELY well while other times they can just fill up your account with lots of shirts that come down and do not sell. However, if you have taken the time to do your research properly and know what niches a good design variation would do well in, then IRead more
Ever since the very beginning of Merch by Amazon, doing the right research and making sure that you can gain search visibility for designs people ACTUALLY want to buy has been the differentiating factor between those who see success and those who don’t. As the Merch landscape has changed over the years, we have taken to expanding our research from just Amazon, to covering multiple platforms. If you canRead more
One of the hardest parts about being a seller is making sure you can bring all the moving parts together to make sure that you are offering your customers exactly what they want. You need to first have amazing designs that resonate with your audience. After you have the design part completed, you still need to figure out how to get eyeballs on your product and use the rightRead more
How many hours of your life have you wasted because you were looking for that specific design that your designer created for you, or that you had created 3 days previous but were not sure what folder you put it in? Perhaps you were trying to find a design because it was removed from Merch by Amazon and you want to put it back up… but you aren’t sureRead more
One of the biggest issues today in the Merch by Amazon space is the ability to monitor your listings for Trademarks. When you have just a few listings, it can be incredibly easy to go in every week and take a look at your listing data to make sure you are not infringing on any intellectual property of another person or business.
